Description

A model describing the rotations and vibrations of trinuclear molecules is presented. The treatment is made in the spirit of Bohr-Mottelson collective model of nucleus. The two-body interactions between the composing clusters are calculated assuming the density independent M3Y forces, supplemented by a phenomenological repulsive component. Under simplifying assumptions, such as linear chain quasi-equilibrium configuration and freezing of the contact point between the light cluster and the heavy clusters, analytical solutions are available.
